Before this commit, the plugin first fetched a list of all
(deserialized) records in a list, then reversed the list, and iterated
on the reverse list.
This proved to be slow, with most of the time being spent in
`dbi.DB._newRecord` (which essentially deserializes one list of CSV).
After this commit, the list is reversed first, then the plugin iterates
on its generator, which calls `_newRecord` on records as they are
requested.
This means that when there are many URLs in the database, `@last` does
not need to waste time deserializing most records, when the result is
near the end (and if the result is the first record, then it does
exactly as much work as before).
This commit reverts db7ef3f025
(though it keeps the year updates)
After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention
copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright
explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright.
As db7ef3f025 only replaced mentions
of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs
to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.
Also update commands.urlSnarfer to do the same, which allows us to revert
"Don't bother snarfing URLs from non-Action CTCP messages."
This reverts commit 3282e3407e.
